Out of Network Therapists in Timnath, CO

Currently, I am full and not able to accept any new clients till May 2021. My mission and passion is to educate, promote, and inspire physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health to individuals struggling with any of the following issues: eating disorders/disordered eating, physical activity, trauma/PTSD/anxiety, alcohol/drug abuse, and valued-living. Choosing a therapist to journey with during times of pain and struggle is a very important first step to self-healing. I meet clients where they are at, and work collaboratively to move in directions of values-based living, self-empowerment, personal knowledge, and healing.

People of all walks of life, regardless of their backgrounds, are deserving of compassion and acceptance. I collaborate with people to help them see their inner power and regain the confidence that they need to excel in life. I take great pride in creating a safe space that is free from judgment.

As a Registered Play Therapist who specializes in working with children 10 and under, I believe and know that children cannot process the same way that we adults do, which is why talk therapy won't work well for them. For children, play is their language and the toys are their words (Landreth). I am trained to communicate and use their play to reach their goals ( little do the kids realize what important work they are doing!) My job is to help them realize their best selves while helping you as their parent and caregivers understand and parent them in ways that can speak not only to their strengths but yours as well.

“I feel like there is a disconnect between who I am and who I want to be.” … “No one truly understands me.” … “I feel lost and alone.” Do any of these statements resonate with you? If so, you are not alone.

Everyone has struggles or hurdles presented in their lives that sometimes will require an objective opinion. I work collaboratively with people to look at issues from a different perspective.

I am passionate about this work and it is an honor and pleasure to work with clients who are invested in making positive changes in their lives. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and private practitioner who has over 25 years of experience working with children, families, couples, and individuals in the Cheyenne area.

It's important to find a counselor you feel safe and comfortable with. In my experience clients find it hard to open up in counseling if they experience the counselor as inauthentic. I remain genuine throughout the counseling experience in order to promote a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. While I see the benefits of specific counseling techniques and interventions, I believe the counselor-client relationship is the most important aspect of counseling. As a counselor, my job is to empower you, assist you in your journey of self exploration, challenge you, and consider the impact of culture and identity
